[andyetfc]

Sorry for the delay Softie. I have just got up off the floor after falling off my chair after reading your response.

 

How about a Footballing weekend?

 

4 local teams.

2 semi finals on the Saturday

3rd and 4th place game on the Sunday followed by

a final comprising the two winners of the semi final games.

 

12.00noon start each day with the second game at 3.00pm

 

Burger bars/beer tents/bouncy castles, 50/50 tickets all day!!!,etc

 

Oh, and good weather.

[Lil Dave]

sounds good what about 4 supporters run teams at brimmo like fc united, afc telford, afc wimblebon plus a good way of makeing money.

[Mr Happy]

MMMMMMMMMMM. One team from South London, one team from North London, one team from Shropshire and one team from Greater Manchester. Take all the travelling expenses off and what have you got???......

[lovely stuff]

Cheshunt,Barnet,Brimsdown...That short of thing??

 

 

 

 

Remember the pre-season 'karaoke cup' bewtween 4 teams at Hendon many years ago.Where we beat Woking 6-0 in the final.

 

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/megaphon.gif" alt="" />If i remember correctly.Fruitbat was reported to the police by the Woking fans, for constantly slating Lawrence Batty all game. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/police.gif" alt="" />

 

Heady days.

[andyetfc]

Well at least I have got people talking.

[Nikki 50/50]

west ham's travel expenses wouldnt be too extortionate and they've done really well this season.

 

honest question- what do these clubs (Spurs, Hammers, etc.) get out of coming to play Town?

[lovely stuff]

It would obviously be a mixture of reserve and youth players,rather than complete first teams.

[lovely stuff]

I remember when Enfield played West Ham in a friendly at Southbury Rd.The Hammmers supporters were expecting a full first team, and were less than pleased, when a complete reserve side ran out.

[Mr Happy]

Best friendly I remember was EFC v the Scum in '98. They played there first team players minus those that had been involved in the World Cup finals. We held them to a 0-0 draw and should have won with a one on one chance towards the end. It was my stag night too so the drinking went on all evening until I ended up in the New River Loop outside the Crown & Horseshoe before it had been cleaned up. Mrs H was none ot happy when I got home!!!!!

[Chopper]

Happy and Anelka was rubbish that day.

[The Invisible Man]

Enfield played Spurs pre-season for about 3 years on the trot, in the ealry 80's. There was talk of it becoming a "traditional" regular thing. The first couple of times Spurs brought a pretty much full strength side. I recall seeing Mario Kempes, who was on a pre-season trial with Spurs, play in one of them (6-0 or 6-1 I believe, and Kempes failed to score).

 

The nest year I think it was 4-1, Graham Roberts scored an og. The nest year it was a reservee/youth team (3-1?)that came and it fizzled out.

 

Many years ago - in the 60's - I remember QPR coming, and Rodney Marsh playing. I believe he scored, possibly in a 4-1 win for QPR?

You are right about Anelka but that's a bit harsh on me. It wasn't until later on that I was totally rubbish. After my swin in the river I smelt like a dustcart too.

[Chopper]

sorry mate was not meant to come out like that! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

It was a great day though 5000 people in southbury road, f.a. cup and premierships trophys on show.

[Chopper]

[andyetfc]

I have heard that Mrs Happy is never happy when you get home!

[OldTowner]

I can recollect enfield holding chelsea to a 3-3 in a friendly in the mid 80s chelsea had half a first team with some well known faces ,Roy Wegerle ,Paul Cannoville,John McNaut,Gareth Hall,Eddie Niedsveski. Es equallised in the last minutes with a 25 yard strike from Mark Keen .A big crowd too as I remember.

[Sponsor of Beer]

Didn't Brian Sparrow play too. I thought it was a different 'keeper, though

[town_til_i_drown]

mario kempes wobbling around southbury road was pretty memorable
